My mother is the most fussy, over-protective and misunderstanding person ever. I get straight A*'s but she screams at me for "not trying hard enough". I'm only 14 but she's already telling me that if i dont get into a top university i'm dead.
She never lets me talk on the phone at home with my friends because she thinks they are ruining my studies. I cant talk on a cell phone because I dont HAVE one. My friends don't call me nowadays because they are so scared of her.
I hardly ever go to any parties. I'm invited to lots, but i dont dare to even ask my mom if i can go or not.
She is threatening to delete my msn account because I chat with my friends instead of reading a book. God, can't I have a social life?
She promised me a camera last christmas. Its March now, and I just found out that I'm not going to get it until June.
Just now, she screamed at me so bad that I cried and cried. I'm in big trouble now.

It sounds like your mom may be projecting at you. In my experience, when someone gets unjustly mad at you, they're usually upset with themselves about something.
As with any type of relationship, communication is the key. Tell her how what she says/does makes you feel. Ask her if everything is going ok with her...
I remember when I was your age and I really wish I had been able to tell my mom what I was feeling. Now that it's 14 years later, we do have a communicating relationship and both regret not knowing what the other was feeling back then.
Just remember that tons of moms and 14yr olds fight but they still love each other. Your mom may need to lighten up a bit, but she has your best interest in mind.

I used to have the same situation. But I'm younger(just turned13). I got tired of my mom telling me the same thing, so I stood up and talked to her. I made her understand that I needed space and that life wasn't all about being smart, or getting good grades.I also told her that we only get this life once so while we live we should be enjoying it. Eventully my mom understood, and we made a deal that if I kept my grades the way they were then I could have my fun,doing I wanted.Try it, it might work, just don't let yourself get beaten until your mom understand that its not all about being smart and getting good grades. GOOD LUCK.

I think your mom's intentions are good, but the way she does it is very harsh. I do not think you are missing out all the fun, for you still have your msn account.
Your mom wants you to have a better life than she does. The only way she knows is to study hard and get ahead in life.
